Same Gender Marriage...What's the big deal?

Why do y'all get such a lather up about gays and lesbians having their relations recognized? My wife and I are happily married, and we know a number of gay and lesbian couples who are in happy, loving relationships...have been for years, and nothing would make us happier than to see them be able to tie the knot.

I mean folks are all up in arms about "...Defending family values..." and that's what marriage for same-gender couples would be. It would allow them to establish their families and have them legally recognized and entitled to all the rights any other married couple is entitled to. And as for this tired crap about "...Securing future generations...", well hell, women can use artificial insemination, and men can adopt. There are plenty of kids out there that go unadopted by you good christian folk. But I guess you're just afraid their parents(biological or adoptive) will turn 'em queer. Sorry to burst your bubble folks, but there's not one jot of evidence to suggest that happens.

So, my suggestion to all you good and righteous (as in smugly self-righteous) folks just need to get off yer high horse and deal with the simple fact that everybody in this nation is entitled to "...Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...". And if their pursuit of happiness leads them to fall in love with someone of the same gender, then SO...BE..IT. It's none of your damn business anyways.
